I had purchased a ceiling fan for the basement some time ago when it must have been on a good sale. We have been wiring plugs and some recessed lights in the basement when Nick comes across the ceiling fan. He wants to put it up, so I say maybe tomorrow we need a bracket for it.

I picked up the bracket on the way home from work and we put that up. We get the fan out and realize that we can't just mount it to the bracket it needs some drywall up as well. Nick convinces me to put up a piece of drywall so we can proceed.

Nick did some wiring, Maddie put in the light bulbs and away we went. We also had to buy a fan controller (light switch), we found one that will just control the fan, however they also had one that will control the fan and the light from the same switch with a dimmer for the light as well. It was $25 vs $22 for the other. So this way we can also put a switch in for the hall light as well. :) A 3-way switch no less.
